So, it looks like it's been almost a year since my last post! Will try and do better...

It's a new year, so it's time to learn something new. A friend of mine has mentioned Zen Tangle a couple of times, so I finally googled it to see what it's all about! Who knew doodling could look so great?!

I started tangling, but found it harder than I thought without instructions. I'll take more time to watch the videos and check out the websites on it and keep practicing.

But - what to do with my tangles once I get going on this? Well - how about Zen Tangles in Wood!? (lol - what else would I think of?)

I've given myself a challenge - get some designs from tangling, and get them made in wood.

I'm thinking a couple different thoughts - fretwork ornaments, and a framed picture or two.

I'll post what I come up with here

So, it's been a LONG time since I've updated this. What's been happening?

This fall (September through the end of November) I worked on the Roscommon County Gypsy Moth Survey crew. We went through the county looking for Gypsy Moth egg masses on homes, golf courses, parks, etc. Unfortunately, it looks like their population is on the rise. Fortunately, the county has a spray program and a lot of the county will get sprayed this Spring.

As soon as that was over, I had to get ready for a Craft Show here in town. Had another successful show - so much so that I decided I need to start earlier this year and maybe get to a couple more next fall/winter. Christmas followed... and the New Year.

Here's a design I made last fall from one of the pictures of the Carousel horses I took at the Grand Rapids Museum.
